One of the wheels passed ed over his bead and left shoulder, badly catting his scalp and fracturing his shoulder considerable. Miss Polley Oltfen who was also thrown to the ground, .re teini trier ir;zries about the chest. On Man Satisfied- I am glad," said a prominent attorney and business man of this city to the Call today, "that Judge Chapman was not nominated for congress.7' Judge Chapman is the kind of a man that this judicial district needs on the bench. In my opinion he is the ablest judge on the district court circuits in Nebraska today. Such men we want to keep in judicial positions. We need them in our business. Look," continued the speaker, "at the present difficulty be tween the Missouri Pacific and Mr. Buell. Judge Field granted an injunction re straining Mr. liuell from interfering with the track layers, a matter that was of serious import to Mr. Buell in li is strug gle with the road. Judge Chapman, however, giyes Mr. Buell a fighting chance by gi anting an injuction restrain ing the road from laying track until the difficulty is adjusted. That is litrht and the people will appreciate it. "Again the people of Lincoln appro ciute the decisions that Judge Chapman has given in the detachment cases brought by Lincoln wholesale dealers agaiust the the railroads. These cases were of vital importance and that the decisions were right is admitted by the roads against whom they were made. They all show that Jude Chapman is needed on the bench." These statements made by the gentle man are of a character that the Call can endorse. Lincoln Call. Resolutions of Respect- Whereas, It has pleased the Graud Architect to call our well beloved brother, John v, Shannon, from labor in our earthly lodges, to refreshment in the Lodge where eternal joy prevails; now, therefore, be it Resolved, By Plattsmouth Lodge No, 6. A. F. & A. M., that while we bow to the decrees of Divine Providence in all its dispensations, we nevertheless frater nail y mouru the loss we have suffered in the death of Brother Shannon. Rexolvcd, That the masonic fraternity has lost one of its most staunch support ers and we recognize in his death the illus trious truth that Uro. bhaunon never broke his word to any mortal on earth, that no one was more ready to succor the deserving, needy and destitute, especially if they were connected with the Masom fraternity, and that to the extent of his ability he was always willing to contrib ute to help his Masonic associates or those dependent upon him. Resolved, That the city of Plattsmouth has, in the death of John W. Shannon lost one of its best citizens, and the com munity one of its staunchest supporters in all works of progress and all measures looking to the advancement of the mater ial interests of its prosperity. Resolved, That his widow and rela tives have our hearty sympathy in this great bereavement, and we universally tender our eood offera wherever anc whenever they can be of use to them. Resolved. That these resolutions be prcad upon the journal of the lodge. Resolved, That his widow and the newspnpers be furnished with a copy of these resolutions. By the committee. R. R. Livingston, J. C. Gilmore, Com. R. B. Windham. ) An improvement has been made in he accommodation of the Riddle House within the last few days. Electric alarm beels have been put in , each room and connected with an apparatus in the office, which, when operated upon wil ring one bell or all the bells in the dif ferent rooms. One great advantage of this i, as the landlord says, no one can come down from their room in the morn ing in a rage and report that they were not awakened at the proper time. The bell will continue to ring until an answer is received, which, not only compels the soundest sleeper to wake up, but calls to the bell to make a reply, and the guests who are in the habit of rolling from one side of the bed to the other and answer in a half awakened style when the clerks rap upon their doors, will not be allowed to take anv second doze, but be com pelled to have to leave their beds and answer the call. When any guest desires the services of any one in the hotel, the bell is started in the office and the num ber of their room exposes itself. The republican rally which will be held here on the 13th of next month, wil no doubt attract a crowd, the like o which will never have been seen before in Plattsmouth. The democrats take the responsibility of furnishing the crowd at their rally, but the fair here attracted many republicans to tne city, and many of them came out on the streets to see how the democrats would do. All the democrats lomea in tne procession, as they admit, while the republicans, in much larger numbers, watched them from the sidewalks. The democrats numbered about 1,200 in the procession The base ball club of Grand Island notified the manager of the Plattsmouth team that they were desirous of playing a game next Friday or Saturday and ask ed for what inducements could be offered. We have learned that satisfactoiy ar rangements will be made and the date of the game set for next Friday. The Grand Island club Is one of the strongest ama teur teams in the state.

Sheriff Eikeiibary and Mr. Boeck tock their departure on Ihe flyer this morning. An inquest was held and it was found that the man had met his death by accident. The name of the unfortunate man is John Shultz, an em ploye on the stone quarry near Louisville. He is a married man and has two child ren, one seven years old and the other two. He resides a short distance from the town, and as the house is close to the railroad, that course he generally used as he walked home. He had remained in town until about 10:30 and became so intoxicated that he could hardly navi gate. He had been lounging around the depot and fell asleep, when he was awak ened by some of the employes and start ed towards home. He succeeded in reaching a culvert about one hundred yards from the depot where he must have sat down on the track and gone to sleep. After a freight train had passed by short ly afterwards, his body was discovered in a frightfully mangled cendition. The head was completely severed from the body and was found near the culvert, while the body had been canicd along the track for several feet, and was as badly mangled as it was possible for it to be, the wheels having passed over it in four or fiye places.
